Homeowners in the area who’ve made it through summer without leaks may not be safe going forward.

“We see it all the time. Homeowners don’t get a roof inspection after Spring hailstorms and assume everything is fine with their roof,” says Burton Hughes. “Summer is fairly dry in Texas so you may not notice roof damage or leaks. Then Fall comes around and homeowners are puzzled as to why they now have leaks.”

Hughes recommends that once homeowners discover a leak, immediately contain it with a bucket or something similar. You want to ensure the water damage doesn’t spread to other areas of your home. Move valuables away from the leak and cover remaining items with a tarp.

Contact a roofing professional immediately for a roof inspection to uncover the cause of the leak and to provide emergency repairs. Leaks never get better with time so it’s important to move quickly.
